Industrial Single Shaft Shredder For Plastic Pipe 

Plastic pipes are widely applied in many fields like agriculture irrigation system, gas piping, water mains, drainage outlet, sewer, underground tap water supplies, etc. Such kind of plastic piping usually is made of below four types of plastic materials: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), PE (Polyethylene), PP (Polypropylene) and Pex (Cross-linked Polyethylene). Among these materials, PE and PVC are the most commonly used for plastic pipe.

Being the best material choice for piping in various industries, it is not only due to plastic pipe’s good performance, but also because of its long and sustainable life (estimated to be more than 100 years according to WSAA). Even when the long service life is reached, it can be recycled and made into new pipes, or made into some other plastic products such as rubbish bin, plastic film, etc.

Although plastic pipe has long life cycle, there are many scrap pipes generated in life. For example, scrap pipes may be left over during pipe manufacturing process, road or building installation project, house decoration project, or old and damaged pipes need to be replaced.

If you have piles of scrap plastic pipes need to be recycled, loading, transporting and unloading would be very costly and troublesome without proper shredding or granulating in advance. ENERPAT provides different models of Pipe Shredder and Pipe Granulator which can handle almost all sizes and shapes of plastic pipes. For shredding small volume of PVC pipes, our PPC Series pipe granulator is most suitable and most cost effective. If you have large volume of various types and various sizes of pipes to be shredded, you can consider our MSA Series single shaft shredder with hydraulic-driven pusher, or even our horizontal pipe shredder which is very heavy duty but very efficient especially suitable for handling long and big diameter pipes.

If you need advice or help to choose a shredder or granulator to reduce the size of your plastic pipes, please contact us today. One of our sales representatives will provide you the most suitable solutions to fit your project.

Rotor

• Chevron rotor design

• Rotor knives manufactured from special heat treated DC53 steel. They can be rotated and used on four edges before replacement

• Long life fixed blades that can be adjusted to maintain cutter clearance

• Wear resistant coating. Optional for applications involving abrasive material such as fibre glass

Screen Basket

• Quick change screens for accurate particle size control (sizes 12-100mm)

• Safety limit switch fitted to screen access door to prevent machine operation whilst access door is open

• Cylinders access door opener mounted on V800-V1500 series for easy opening and access

• Star screen is available as an option for thin and/or flexible material such as film

Bearings

• Oversized, high quality spherical shaft bearings are isoloated from the cutting chamber to prevent product migrations through the grease seals

• Bearing housing integral machined to ensure the longevity of the bearings

• Rotor water cooling. Optional water cooling through the bearing housing to the rotor

Ram

• Segmented shredding chamber floor with brass guides

• Machined, one-piece segmented floor

• Advanced adjustable sealing system for the pushing unit

• Fines discharge chute to the collect the fines during shredding and to protect the  hydraulic power pack

Drives

• Electric drive motors configured for Star/Delta starting. Fluid coupling mounted on V1200 and V1500

• Heavy duty reduction gearbox mounted directed onto the rotor shaft

• Shock absorbing gearbox mountng arrangement to reduce stress on drive components

Hydraulic System

• Twin speed hydraulics, faster speed for backwards to maximise the shredding throughput

• Integrated oil/air cooler to maintain temperature for continuous operation

• Optional cover insulator for applications that may eject hazard particles such as wood shredding.

Control Panel

• Standalone electrical control panel with Siemens PLC control system and Schneider electrical components.

• Manual and automatic controls for rotor direction and hydraulic force feeding device

• Intelligent programming whereby the motor automatically reverses on overload and stops when the machine is idle
